    I'm having trouble finding anything to critique really! This is very good in my opinion. I, maybe, would have placed that tree more to the right of frame, but that's just me.
    It's quite a juxtaposition this ... the coldness of the frost and the warmth of the morning sun light.

    For my money, great work!

    Yeah, I'm kinda feelin' the same way. My only issue, if I had to pick on something, is the fact that the ground slopes to the left. The horizon is straight but the sloping ground is mildly disconcerting. Overall though, it's a great shot. The frost on the grass is very cool.

    I like this shot taffy but it's not wowing me as some of your past shots have. I think it's because the background is nice but nothing is grabbing me in foreground or midground. (Just my 2 cents)

    I love the textures of the grass. I would play with the crop to have the tree more right and a bit less foreground.

    Hi Taffy,

    I love the picture well done. I agree with the others about the tree. If it was to the side it would be less distracting as it's acting like a black hole wishing to suck you into a void.

    Best wishes,
